Mr. Qinghe had previously specifically checked on Han Mingxiu, but didn't find anything.
When Han Mingyuan failed the exam for the first time, he checked the Han family's background and found out that Han Mingyuan and Han Mingxiu had the same father but different mothers. So the first people Mr. Qinghe suspected were Han Mingxiu and Han Mingxiu's mother.
However, Han Mingxiu was too young at the time and probably didn't have such meticulous thoughts, and Han Zhang was a woman who knew nothing, so they let down their guard.
However, as Han Mingyuan failed the exam three times in a row, the situation was too strange, so Mr. Qinghe had no choice but to investigate Han Mingxiu again, but he still couldn't find out anything.
This also made Mr. Qinghe impressed by Han Mingxiu, but he had never met Han Mingxiu.
"Well, I've heard a little about him. He's Mingyuan's younger brother, right?" Mr. Qinghe said slowly.
Han Mingxiu suddenly looked up at Mr. Qinghe: "Sir...know my eldest brother."
Han Mingxiu said this almost with gritted teeth.
"Well, I've met your brother Han Mingyuan several times." Feeling Han Mingxiu's gaze, Mr. Qinghe clenched his teacup.
Han Mingxiu's eyes were uncertain, and then he continued: "My eldest brother is here today, why don't I invite him over..."
Mr. Qinghe shook his head: "No, it's not a big deal, there's nothing to see."
Just now, when Han Mingyuan followed Mr. Qinghe, he deliberately kept a distance from them. At that time, County Magistrate He was very puzzled, but he didn't expect that Han Mingxiu didn't know that Han Mingyuan had already met Mr. Qinghe?
County Magistrate He looked at Han Mingxiu with suspicion. Han Mingxiu had regained his gentle and graceful demeanor. Noticing County Magistrate He's gaze, Han Mingxiu could only shake his head at him.
Han Mingxiu returned to his seat, his clenched fists leaving deep fingerprints in his palms.
Who would have thought that Han Mingyuan was also in contact with Mr. Qinghe? He had concealed it so thoroughly that he had never discovered it.
Han Mingxiu thought about the people Han Mingyuan had contacted before, and he couldn't figure out how Mr. Qinghe knew Han Mingyuan.
I haven't heard of any time when Mr. Qinghe came to Qingping Town.
County Magistrate He was a little disappointed with Han Mingxiu. He had thought that with Han Mingyuan's relationship, Han Mingxiu could at least get a good impression on Mr. Qinghe's side. He didn't expect that even Han Mingxiu didn't know what the relationship between Han Mingyuan and Mr. Qinghe was.
He couldn't help but blame the Chen family for not explaining the matter clearly to him. It would be bad if he offended Mr. Qinghe.
However, seeing that Mr. Qinghe didn't seem to have any bad intentions towards Han Mingxiu, County Magistrate He could only suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to toast each other. For a while, the atmosphere eased and became more harmonious.
The people sitting below were also making calculations in their minds. Chen Chengye had a smug look on his face. Han Mingxiu's efforts were not in vain. He pushed him in front of Mr. Qinghe. Even if Mr. Qinghe knew Han Mingyuan, so what? As long as he could talk to Han Mingxiu, it would be a help to their Chen family.
Han Mingyuan himself didn't think so much. In front of outsiders, he still pretended to be unfamiliar with Mr. Qinghe. He was just a scholar at the moment, and he would be able to meet the teacher with dignity only when he graduated from high school.
So even though Mr. Qinghe just said that he knew Han Mingyuan, the others didn't realize that he was right next to them for a while.
Han Mingyuan has now put his worries aside and is in an extremely relaxed mood. He feels that he can read a few more books and write a few more policy papers when he returns. He feels that he has endless energy.
The main banquet had returned to a peaceful atmosphere. Magistrate He was very comfortable with the occasion. Mr. Qinghe was thinking about Han Mingyuan and showed little interest.
It was much more lively outside than inside. Although Mr. Qinghe had already gone in, these rich second-generations still mentioned him frequently, and every time they mentioned Mr. Qinghe, they showed great admiration for him.
Lu Qingyun nudged Han Xiao with his elbow and whispered in his ear: "If they knew that your father was Mr. Qinghe's student, would they..." As he spoke, he made a gesture of picking you up.
Han Xiao was speechless: "If you want to be beaten, I will go find Uncle Lu later."
"Hey, you are not funny at all. I just think that my brother's father is Mr. Qinghe's disciple. Then, rounding it off, I am also Mr. Qinghe's disciple." Lu Qingyun said somewhat proudly.
Han Xiao drank his tea by himself, not wanting to pay attention to this second-generation rich kid, and his eyes kept looking towards the backyard.
I don’t know if the young master has arrived.
Han Xiao was thinking about the young master in his heart, and then he saw Ruan Xiuran walking towards him out of the corner of his eye.
He stood up, straightened his clothes and walked quickly towards Ruan Xiuran: "Xiuran, where is your brother?"
After saying that, he looked behind Ruan Xiuran.
Ruan Xiuran was speechless when he saw Han Xiao being so arrogant. Wasn't it worth Han Xiao asking about him as a grown-up?
But he still managed to answer: "I encountered something on the way and came late. My brother and dad had already gone to the backyard, so you couldn't see him."
Ruan Xiuran's tone was somewhat gloating.
Han Xiao rolled his eyes at him immediately: "Then why did you come here just now?"
Then he led Ruan Xiuran to Lu Qingyun: "Qingyun, this is Xiuran, and he is also my future brother-in-law."
Han Xiao already regarded Lu Qingyun as his good friend and was very happy to introduce Ruan Xiuran to Lu Qingyun.
Lu Qingyun had obviously seen Ruan Xiuran before, but the two didn't seem to be very familiar with each other and didn't have much interaction in normal times. They just greeted each other.
The three of them sat together and started chatting. Since they were all of the same age, they had a lot to talk about. Although Ruan Xiuran had not had much contact with Lu Qingyun, he believed in Han Xiao's vision.
Therefore, the communication with Lu Qingyun was quite harmonious. The two even coincided on some points of view. Now Han Xiao seemed like an outsider.
Han Xiao didn't care and let the two of them talk while he continued to drink tea. Occasionally, two rich second-generations would come and ask him to play tossing pots, but he was too lazy to go. It was really boring without the young master.
The young master was also very happy at this moment because he saw his good friend.
As soon as the young master arrived with his father, he saw Liu Anlan lying on the railing alone.
It seems that the people and things around him have nothing to do with him.
"An Lan!" the young master called out loudly.
Hearing the young master's voice, Liu Anlan raised his head lazily and called the young master over.
Mrs. Ruan was relieved to see that it was Liu Anlan, so she left the young master behind.
"Anlan, you come so early." The young master held Liu Anlan's hand affectionately.
Liu Anlan was still lazy and couldn't muster up the energy: "Who is like you, little confused bug? You came so late, are you unable to get up in the morning?"
"No way." The young master pouted in dissatisfaction, and An Lan would then bring up the fact that he slept in.
